The recently discovered isotopes include elements 112 (copernicium), element 110 (darmstadtium), element 108 (hassium), element 106 (seaborgium) and element 104 (rutherfordium).
These five isotopes were discovered through observing the continuous radiation of Alpha particles.
The scientists obtained the isotopes of these superheavy elements by implementing C48 acceleration, while colliding with plutonium 242 in the gas separator.
The information obtained from isotopes of these new elements has important implications for the scientific community to further explore the theory of the structure of atomic nuclear shells.
